do a compression test..usually when you get a blown headgasket, your oil would look milky, and your temp would shoot up instantly

go to a shop with a smog machine and tell them to check for blow head gasket at the radiator.

are u over heating? wat are ur oil levels at? muddy oil is also known milk shake oil. stuff is nasty. if u have oil in ur radiator that ur head gasket is blown. you should replace ur radiator and head gasket asap. also milk shake oil usually will not drain out of ur oil pan. so if ur milk shake oil is severe then ull have to replace ur oil pan also.. but thats only in severe cases.

yeah my car had oil coming from what looked like the head, but if you traced the oil back it came to the cam seals(which i hear are notorious for leaking). i thought it was a head gasket on my car.... not sure if thats your case...

Also your are right, on the B series motor the cam seal is notorious for leaking. Sometimes you find that they leak alittle around the dizzy and the vtec soleniod too. If it is the head gasket, you might want to put in new headstuds when you buy the new gasket. What motor is it?

B18B it doesnt overheat and the oil looks like oil not milky but the thing that i saw was like a green color algae or something not much but just a lil bit and its not leaking out coolant i never have to refill it so its not burning coolant

Is the car smoking? My car is losing oil some where i think its the oil pan gasket (which i just changed last week). But to the best of my knowledge if its the head gasket it will smoke and if u take off your oil cap it will have a white milkey substance under it
